Sorry for the delay. I have submitted a patch, that fixes the 
documentation string issue.

Regarding let being changed to let*: As far as I know, guile has always 
done such conversions in certain circumstances, not just since my recent 
changes. In the medium term, there will probably even more of such 
conversions be introduced, since they are intended as optimizations. Do 
the recent changes introduce a problem for you, or was this just to be 
seen as a general comment? If it is a problem for you, could you please 
give more details and also some examples?

Thanks a lot, and sorry again for the delay until I fixed the code.
Best regards,
Dirk
